A green energy company has filed a lawsuit against Tesla Motors in London, saying the electric carmaker blocked its plans for charging stations in the U.K.

Ecotricity Group was talking with companies, including Welcome Break Group, to install electric vehicle chargers at service providers along U.K. highways. In the lawsuit, Ecotricity stated that Tesla used confidential information to interfere with these plans in order to install its own charging stations.

According to Bloomberg, Tesla has also filed an antitrust suit against Ecotricity, accusing the company of “acting abusively in its dominant position as a supplier.”
